Basic Internals
Powered by a TI OMAP processor running at 220 MHz, the Nokia N90 includes 48 MB of RAM and 32 MB of ROM. The N90 can be expanded by RS-DV-MMC cards and can connect to other devices through Bluetooth. If the included memory is not enough, Nokia includes a 64 MB memory card with an adapter to make it a full SD/MMC card. The 352x416 pixel screen supports 18-bit Color, and a large external display. For battery life, the N90 includes a 760 mAh battery. The device is 4.41" x 2.00" x 0.94" and weights 6.10 oz. For an operating system, the N90 uses Symbian OS 8.x. The Nokia N90 runs on GSM/GPRS Tri-band dual mode 2.5/3G with WCDMA and EGPRS devices.
Device Style
While the Nokia N90 is a basic flip-phone in many ways, it includes a double hinge. Instead of simply having a hinge at the top, the top of the device has the camera built into a module at the top. When opening the device, the camera first slides under the bottom of the N90 butting the front face at a 90 degree angle to the back, and then the front face opens to near vertical. The camera module can also spin near 360 degrees when the device is closed. The front face of the device can also twist just over 45 degrees. The front face of the device includes a large LCD external display. The top of the N90 has the power button and speakerphone speaker. On the left side of the N90 is the sync port connectivity (which comes with a cover) and the power adapter port. The right side of the device includes the RS-DV-MMC slot, directional pad for device control when the device is closed, and a record/snap button for the camera. The keypad inside the device is pretty standard with a numeric pad, there are two keys for operating system menu and navigation control, a directional pad, send/end buttons, and three other buttons for device functionality. Above the screen are two additional buttons above the screen which are used by the operating system when the screen is turned and the operating system switches to landscape mode.
A Market for the N90
The Nokia N90 appears to me to have an interesting place in the cell phone market. For the most part, the device is a fairly standard cell phone, but when it comes to the camera part of the phone, there are a number of additional features. While the N90 may be considered just a camera phone too many people, I would actually consider the N90 to be hitting a niche market of users that actually want a good camera built in to their phone. I would not really consider the N90 just a cell phone with a camera built in, but close to being a cell phone and a camera. With services like Flickr and people using their phones more and more to take pictures to capture memories as opposed to just headshots, the N90 can fit a growing base of users that want to be able to have printable quality pictures come from their phone.
The Camera
When it comes to the camera features of the phone, Nokia has included quite a number of features, many of which are built around the design of the phone. Instead of building the camera into the back or face of the phone like with most camera phones, the camera is built into the hinge of the device so there is more space for the camera to be set in. The camera in the N90 uses Carl Zeiss Optics. For those that do not know about cameras, the name might not need anything, but Carl Zeiss Optics are used in many cameras including those made by Hasselblad and Sony. The lens is based on the Tessar lens product line which has been produced by Carl Zeiss for the last 80 years. The version in the Nokia N90 includes an f/2.9 maximum aperture in the 5.5mm lens. If you know about photography those statistic may mean something to you, to others, let�s just say it is a good glass lens. The camera will shoot at up to two mega pixels. Also featured in the lens is autofocus. The N90�s camera can be used in two different ways. The first way to use it is with the phone closed. The camera simply needs to be swiveled and the outer screen will show an active image of what the camera is shooting. The record button will snap a picture and the directional pad on the outside of the device can be used to control camera functions like zoom and camera settings. This mode is great for quickly snapping a picture without having to even open the device. To stop using the camera, it just needs to be swiveled back. The other way is to open the phone then swivel the screen. Once the screen swivels, the camera will turn on. I really like this camera mode as it is very easy to hold,
Here is an example of some simple pictures taken with the N90. These are not full-sized images but are simply a cropped part of a two mega pixel image from the N90. You can click the images to see them at the full 1600 x 1200 resolution. Since most photos probably are not going to be taken under optimum lighting conditions, these aren't either. But these pictures are a lot better than any 1.3 megapixel camera phone or VGA camera phone by far.
Final Thoughts
The Nokia N90 is really my first in-depth look ever at a Nokia product. Back with cell phones were starting to become popular everyone always had Nokia products and they seemed to be the standard for cell phones. The N90 is an impressive product. Priced at around $400, it is not a cheap product, costing nearly as much as a PDA. Probably the bulk of this is because of its unique camera feature as well as the powerful hardware inside the device. It is a top notch product and the quality is easy to see when handling the product. But where I think the Nokia N90 falls short is when it actually comes to using the software. Personally, I don't think that the Symbian OS is as clear cut and intuitive as a platform like Windows Mobile. Specially I was disappoint with how the photo gallery was handle when that should be one of the most polished interfaces on the device. The Nokia N90 is a unique product and it is for a person that want a high quality camera built into their phone. Nokia has done a good job of pushing the bar of camera quality and again has brought a unique design to market with the N90.

The 31 x 41mm screen is beautifully bright and clear, and carries 16 million colours - much more than the human eye can detect, but which reveals a beautifully smooth transition when watching video. It's a smartphone that runs on the Symbian S60 operating system, familiar from Nokia's more high-end N-series and E-series smartphones, and it offers plenty of scope for adding your own applications. This is a go-anywhere phone. As well as quad-band GSM connections, it also offers an HSDPA 3G connection. HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) is the latest, fastest variety of 3G and can offer data connections to the internet that are several times faster than standard 3G. So far it's available in the UK with T-Mobile, Vodafone and, imminently, 3 and no doubt it will join other UK operators' ranges too. There's a full internet browser as well as WAP access on board, and there's a tiny VGA camera on the front for video calling The VGA camera isn't the main picture-taking tool of course. There's a 2-megapixel version on the back with 4x digital zoom and a proper flash, accessed by a dedicated shutter button on the side. None of Nokia's fancy Carl Zeiss lens partnership here, but it's perfectly good for snaps, which generally came out sharp and clear with very little effort.
The options include a panorama mode which allows you to create wide angle views. You press and hold the shutter button, then move the camera to the left or right and it continues to add images to the original to create a panoramic image. It's clever, if a little clunky in practice, and while it wouldn't pass muster as a useful function for photographers, it is good fun.
The music player is solid without offering anything to make it stand out. It plays all the main audio formats, including MP3, WMA and eAAC Plus and the menu is easy to read and intuitive. There's a very basic five-option equaliser as well as bass boost and stereo widening options, plus a very weird reverb option, which offers a choice of echoey venues for your listening, including 'Alley', 'Bathroom', and 'Underwater' (??!!).
Other handy features include document readers in Quickoffice, so you can view Word, PowerPoint and Excel docs, as well as a PDF reader. It also comes with three games - Marble, City Bloxx (both fairly ingenious Tetris derivatives in different ways) and gambling tutorial Highroller, though you can of course add more Java games.
